- Injection molding of a preform which is about 33 g in weight, under the conditions of C, back pressure of about IMPa, injection time of about 13 seconds, and molding cycle of about 40 seconds.
- a stretch blow molding machine manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation
- the resin powder is switched and supplied to a plurality of processing containers, heat treatment is sequentially performed from the processing container to which the supply has been completed, and discharged sequentially from the processing container to which the heat treatment has been completed.
- heat treatment using a fluidized bed can be performed substantially continuously, and heat treatment of resin powder can be performed more efficiently.
- the heat treatment itself is performed in a batch process in each processing container, the product quality can be further homogenized.
